-- Synopsis --
This talk will examine several plants containing 5-MeO-DMT and talk about their botany, cultural uses and history. Drawing on archaeological records, ethnobotanical work and recent biochemical analysis, we can shift the focus from the Sonoran Desert toad to a variety of entheogenic plants, for example from Anadenanthera, Virola, Phalaris genera, as well as other plants and even fungi.

-- Bio --
Anya Ermakova - Anya has a motley background and varied research interests in nature conservation, ethnobotany, neuroscience and psychiatry, interweaving and connecting these diverse paths through psychedelic science.
Anya worked at the forefront of psychedelic research as a science officer at the Beckley Foundation and has provided psychedelic welfare and harm reduction services with PsycareUK and Zendo.
A deep love for nature and wildlife has motivated Anya to study biology at the University of Edinburgh, while a quest to understand altered states of consciousness has prompted her to specialise in neuroscience and later continued during her PhD in psychiatry at Cambridge, where she investigated the origins of psychosis. She then worked for the NHS, developing and trialling a new psychosocial intervention for psychosis.
After a brief stint as a clinical trial manager, she decided to pursue her passion for nature, by studying Conservation Science at Imperial College London. She is currently working as a research consultant in London but stays involved in peyote conservation work in the USA. She is a part of Chacruna's Council for the Protection of Sacred Plants and a board member of the Cactus Conservation Institute.

Amazing talk

[@hexedelic1899]

Wow, fantastic talk indeed 😊

[@richardkettering9532]

Hi hate to say this because I want so much to hear and understand this video but half way through sentences she goes into what I call a frog type voice which makes the end of her sentences very hard to get. SORRY!

[@entheotv]

English is not Anya first language, be kind.

[@spiritualityandscience]

Maybe you know only English. SORRY. I understand her perfectly. But I can speak 5 languages. Don't condemn anybody!
